Above: Axl & dancer at the 8th Annual LA Street Scene, September, 1985From G'nR's March 28, 1986 show at the Roxy: "Alright, I don't know if there is anybody here from L.A. Weekly tonight... You know, they called us New York Dolls and labeled us jaded posers. You know I may have my differences with other bands, but I don't think Guns N' Roses here, L.A.

This song is called "Back Off Bitch."More classic Guns 'N Roses photos here.And read Siran Babyan's review of Marc Canter's book here.
